English beers

Open doors day

On this occasion Pierre also opens his doors to the general public, who are welcome for a guided tour in the “Gueuzerie” and a free lambic!

Of course, he himself is also present at the festival, with the following beers:

  • Assemblage Tilquin (lambic)
  • Faro Tilquin
  • Gueuze Tilquin on draught
  • Oude Gueuze Tilquin
  • Oude Quetsche Tilquin (2 versions : with “Prunes de Namur” or with “Quetsches véritables d’Alsace”)
  • Oude Mûre Tilquin
  • Stout Rullquin

Practical details

Everyone is welcome at the Gueuzerie Tilquin (Chaussée Maïeur Habils 110 at 1430 Bierghes) on Saturday 30 April from 12h00 until 22h00 and Sunday 1 Mei from 11h00 until 21h00.

Start packages are 14 euro (entrance + glass + beer list + 4 tokens) and 25 euro (entrance + glass + beer list + 12 tokens). The entrance is valid for both days. All beers – in 15 cl tasting glass – cost 1 to 2 tokens. One token costs 1.50 euro.

For the hungry there will be food trucks. For the youth there is a bouncy castle. And for those who want to take a souvenir home: there is also a shop where both the British beers and the Tilquin products will be sold.

Reportedly, there even is a regular shuttle service between the station of Enghien and the Gueuzerie Tilquin at Bierghes. So … Untill then!

The Lambikstoempers vzw organises …

Brasserie Lefebvre

Exclusive visit at Brewery Lefebvre

In principle guided tours in Brewery Lefebvre aren’t possible (for reasons of safety and hygiene), but for the Lambikstoempers vzw they like to make an exception.  :-)

Paul Lefebvre, director and responsible for production, and Xavier Tournet, commercial director, will be our guide on the site (mainly in French) and explain us everything about the grinding and brewing, filtering and cooking, purifying, cooling and fermenting, lagering, filtration and bottling. Of course, you also learn a little more about their wide range of beers …

And afterwards  there is a tasting. If we behave well, we even may taste a scoop! Probably a very unique evening …

 

Meeting on Thursday, March 17th, 2016 at 17:45 at the brewery, Chemin du Croly 54 to 1430 Rebecq-Quenast (parking in front of the brewery).

Participation costs 5 euro for Lambikstoemper members, 8 euro for members of Zythos and 10 euro for others.
